Bacteria from over 100,000 years ago were recently discovered and resurrected after over 120,000 years. Can this be possible?
Many believe that the Earth is just 4,000 years old and that everything was created at that time. Having a degree in archaeology it’s hard for me to accept this biblical account of creation. I once lived with a fundamentalist who, when questioned about archaeological finds responded, “God is testing your faith.”
Why does faith need to be tested? Why is it that fundmentalists insist that the Bible is correct? I don’t understand. Did Adam and Eve’s children mate with each other? When Cain killed Abel, he left and went off to another society, no? How do we have black, white, indian, oriental? We were all descended for Adam and Eve? Is all of the Chinese history incorrect? How is it that indians existed on our continent at the same time of creation? Where there more than one set of chosen people?
Could it be that the Bible refers to just a specific group of people? God appeared to certain people of the Jewish heritage but not to others. I often wonder why I, as a Christian, pray to a God who has never revealed Himself to Christians. I often wonder. Is there an answer? Will the God of the Jews care about me when it’s all over?
As a Catholic, I learned that unless you were a Catholic, you would spend eternity in hell. Yet some Protestant groups claim that the Catholic church is the anti-Christ. They trashed me for my faith.
Does anyone know the truth? Meanwhile, these entities that lived 120,000 years ago and now are alive again, how do we justify their existance when many believe that the universe did not exist at this time?
Any thoughts are welcome. Keep it friendly please. I’ve lived too long and really don’t know what to think anymore.
